Been here a while, snooped around, met some peeps. Finally was convinced to start one of these "build logs". So here it is in all its slowness! $Beer Chug\'n$

Specs when bought:
Blue 1985 Toy pickup extra cab, EFI

, automatic

, BROKEN! Stock!
197,000mi from central Az with a new head-gasket at 177k. Lift shackles in the rear, 29in tires and four blown shocks.

Now at 218,000mi it is on 33s with a W56 and duals. Front has some added leafs on old lift mains (from a friend) and the rear has not changed. Four 'new to me' Ranchos from a friend. New seats, from a friend. Help, from friends. This place is nice

.

This summer I have many-a-plan for Jacky but will the money come? We will see. Hey it's me

!

It's me! Yay!

bow, turn, bow...

Thank you... thank you...

My plan is to run 33s and as little lift as I can. The normal, rears front and F150s out back.

It don't flex to good... yet!

and I need to stay out of the mud!

Duals. Best mod I've done to date, only real mod I've done to date. I don't count the transmission swap (but equally great).

NO! I can't. I need all the bed I can get. This is still my work truck.

Flat bed?

It's not as small or bad as people say but then again I never saw it with the creek

. There where A LOT of hills, damn, so many hills. Nothin' much but.... HILLS!

Oh, and a heck of a lot of Jeeps, nothing but Jeeps and motorsickles

. I was able to find mud, and I couldn't help myself

I was checking the trail. Lucky I did, it ended and would have been near impossible for me to get out.

Hey Jerome, truck's looking good!

Boy, you're in trouble when you let Dave use power tools around your rig.

But if you distract him with tools you might be able to sneak up on him and.....

WabFab, I think. It just doesn't have the stinger braces.

Jrock is an easier screen name, jkief86 was my origional just because it was the frist thing I thought of (email). I like short hair. Jacky is my trucks name.

So I noticed. He has to stop letting go!

Thanks.

You guys like the massive flex in the first picture?

Duffil · « **Reply #22 on:** Apr 12, 2009, 10:04:27 AM »

glad to see you using this thing a bit.

jrock · « **Reply #23 on:** Apr 17, 2009, 10:21:01 AM »

So I'm trying to figure out how to spend the money I don't have

so I ask you what would be most beneficial...
Aussie in the front or suspension upgrades? (ie. f150s and hybrid stock fronts)

Birfailed · « **Reply #24 on:** Apr 17, 2009, 11:24:23 AM »

lockers for sure, flexy suspension with open diffs just mean you'll get stuck worse off

Duffil · « **Reply #25 on:** Apr 17, 2009, 09:08:50 PM »

get an aussie and a 12pack and come over. We can swap it in and I'll gloss over setting up a diff for ya while resetting backlash.

jrock · « **Reply #26 on:** Apr 18, 2009, 01:30:18 AM »

Tempting.... hmmm, let me see what I can do...

jrock · « **Reply #27 on:** Apr 20, 2009, 02:27:37 PM »

Okay, aussie in front.
Any links to individual rear brake setups?
